MentalEdge

Using a domain for your handle means it entirely replaces the original bsky handle you signed up with.

I could go from being mentaledge.bsky.social to mentaledge.com, for example. (And they don't need to be the same "username" so to speak, I could have registered therealmental.bsky.social, but then become mentaledge.com, provided I own the domain.)

The main difference is that the orignal handle is a subdomain of bsky, while you can be the root domain if you use your own.

Before, you'd lose your original handle, meaning someone else could grab it once you did this, and then pretend to be you. Now they can't.

I don't share your view.

Company doing good thing without simultaneously promising it won't do bad thing doesnt automatically mean BAD THING WILL ABSOLUTELY SUPER DUPER CERTAINLY HAPPEN NEXT.

The opposite, actually.

When corpos are specific about bad thing definitely not being planned, that's when it is DEFINITELY the next step.

Ok. But again, this isn't that.

No part of this particular change, is even step one of what you're talking about.

This is literally only stopping new users from registering accounts under handles someone used before, but switched away from.

It's straight up a "correct " solution.

I don't think the name part of the bsky handle comes from the domain you use.

You just no longer lose the handle you picked when you registered, when you switch to using your own domain as your handle.

Before, once you switched, someone else could grab that original handle you registered with and pretend to be you.

So they shouldn't address actual concerns?

This change is tiny. Bluesky currently allows people who own domains to use those domains for their handle. (Anyone can buy domains, not just companies, I own two) Before, doing so would "release" the default name.bsky.social handle, allowing someone else to use it.

This literally doesn't take away any handles from anyone, except people who grabbed handles that were "released" by their original owners. It DOES NOT allow someone who shows up with a new spechul domain to take away the handle of a user that already exists.

Maybe, but this isn't about that.

Yes. I do this. You'll want to look up X forwarding.

Once set up, you should be able to execute GUI applications installed to machines you connect to via ssh, and have their GUI show up on the machine you are connecting from.

As if companies aren't scraping all of it anyway.

I would absolutely use it. In fact creating and editing services would be the primary selling point IMO. It doesn't need to be much "easier" than doing it in the terminal or file explorer, to me the primary benefit would just be the ease of use of creating, loading, and starting a new service all in one place.

I think a generic template would be great.

You could turn the whole thing into a giant GUI settings screen, allowing navigation to an exectuable, after which you could provide some of the most typical options as sliders, number fields, switches, or whatever is suitable. But that would be a large amount of work, and I'm not sure it would simplify things much.

The starting point should just be a text field, but with a link to the service file docs for help/reference.

Oooh this will be perfect for a bunch of stuff I do.

Can you create new services or do you still need to create the .service file manually?

What about .timer files?

Also private equity.

The one imposing the standard is entirely me. My parents deliberately STEPPED AWAY from controlling me and my siblings lives as we came into adulthood. They're incredible.

Today we all treat each other like adults, (and humor mom by allowing her to baby us a bit) they've completely stepped down from being controlling influences in our lives. They advise, show concern, and voice opinions, but since turning 18, they've never once acted like we can't do as we please.

The way the acted towards us and each other left a huge impression. As I've gone on to live life I've truly come to realize and appreciate my parents are 2 in a million. I didn't realize the significance of it while growing up, but thinking back now, the things they did blow me away. Like who makes a point of explaining each mistake they've made raising someone, as they realize what they were, TO that someone, and apologizing for them openly?!

I think it's actually made me and my siblings easier to control, we always listen if they have something to say, because we all see that they're two of the wisest people we'll ever know.
